It took Xu Sumin a while to react, and when she heard her words, she couldn't help laughing. Instead of answering, she asked, "Aren't you afraid? Partnering with a vicious woman like me, I might get malicious and kill you one day."
Before Shen Xinyan could react, Qiu Tang had already stepped forward quickly to protect her behind her, staring at her with a vigilant look on her face.
Xu Sumin laughed out loud: "Interesting, interesting, you are quite interesting."
Shen Xinyan pulled Qiutang helplessly, signaling her to step back.
Qiu Tang pursed her lips and took a step back, but she still stared at Xu Sumin, fearing that she might do something bad to her master.
Seeing this, Xu Sumin laughed even harder.
"Okay, okay, stop teasing her." Shen Xinyan said unhappily.
Xu Sumin wiped away the tears from her laughter and said, "Do you really think I'm a fool? Would you really keep these two troublemakers? I'll let them reunite as father and son!"
Originally I wanted to cut off the roots of the problem, but later I thought it was pointless, so I just let the father and son reunite.
Father and son reunited?
Shen Xinyan was a little confused, but for some reason she didn't ask any further questions. Instead, Xu Sumin took a sip of tea and asked, "Don't you think my method is too cruel?"
Shen Xinyan refilled her tea and said calmly, "I am not the person involved. I have not experienced the anger and pain of the person involved, so I have no right to judge whether this method is cruel or not."
Naturally, she didn't have the leisure to sympathize with the 'family of four'.
What is evil? What is good? After experiencing the life of a "vicious mother-in-law", she has long been unable to distinguish, and is unwilling to distinguish.
Xu Sumin looked at her deeply for a long time before she smiled and said, "Your character is quite interesting. You are gentle and kind, and you can remain calm in the face of someone like me, whom others call a 'vicious woman'. You are bold and cruel, and you even took your husband's mistress back home without saying a word, and even gave her a status."
Shen Xinyan felt a little uncomfortable when she mentioned the "mistress", because it might be related to some things Wei Junhang did behind her back. She didn't want to say it clearly, so she could only smile and lower her head to pretend to sip the tea.
Seeing her reaction like this, Xu Sumin felt a little disappointed, thinking that she was just swallowing her anger and had to give in.
"Women like you who come from wealthy families put men too seriously, so you have to bear all the grievances by yourself. If you keep holding it in like this, you will suffocate yourself to death at any time."
Shen Xinyan laughed dumbly, and then she continued, "Your life revolves around two people, one is your husband, and the other is your son. If your husband disappoints you, you will turn to your son. If your son also disappoints you, your life will probably be a tragedy."
Shen Xinyan's smile froze slightly, and she suddenly realized that her words actually summarized her previous life quite succinctly.
Her whole life revolved around her husband and son. When her husband disappointed her, she turned all her attention to her son. But in the end, her son also disappointed her. What was the result? Wasn't that life a tragedy?
"Okay, let's not say these unlucky words. Just make up your mind. Just remember to always keep yourself in mind. This woman doesn't love herself, so is she expecting others to love her?"
"Make a good profit this time so that you can have some money to protect yourself in the future, and at the same time you can get a generous dowry for your daughter. Don't learn from those hypocritical people who say that money is nothing but dirt. If you do that, I will spit at you!" Xu Sumin said jokingly.
Shen Xinyan laughed: "Sister, you think too highly of me. I am just an ordinary person in this world. How can I be noble?"
She has even been an annoying lunatic, and yet she still talks about being noble or not.
Xu Sumin laughed: "We are just ordinary people in this world!"
The two of them were talking happily over here, while Wei Junhang sat back in the pavilion, drinking by himself. A breeze from the suburbs blew in slowly, mixed with the freshness of green grass and the occasional chirping of unknown birds, which was quite interesting.
"Hey, come here. The firewood in the kitchen is almost gone. Go to the woodroom and get some." Suddenly, he heard a woman's voice not far away. He didn't pay any attention to it. He just raised his eyes and glanced towards the place where the voice came from.
Then, his gaze froze, his eyes narrowed, and he stared at the woman in gray cloth not far away. He saw the woman bowed to a woman dressed as a maid, as if she had agreed to something, and then dragged her feet step by step to the other direction.
Wei Junhang did not miss her limping leg, but he was more concerned about her slightly old face. He felt that this face seemed familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
He frowned and fell into deep thought, trying to search his memory for a corresponding face, until a face suddenly emerged from deep in his memory. He stood up suddenly, his eyes full of disbelief.
It's her?! She's still alive?!
Yes, it must be her, there is no doubt about it! If she is still alive...
His eyes suddenly brightened. This person was still alive, which meant that there was finally a breakthrough in the case of Zhao Quanzhong.
When he thought of this, he couldn't sit still. He wanted to go back and send someone to find out what happened. How did the maid of the young lady of the Zhao Mansion escape the pursuit of King Cheng? How much did she know about the inside story of the Zhao Quanzhong case? Is there any strong evidence?
No hurry, no hurry. He is here to accompany his wife today. Other matters can be put aside for now. He will make arrangements after sending his wife back home. After all, he will not let go of any clues this time.
After patiently waiting for a while, he felt a little restless, so he simply stood up and walked around the manor with his hands behind his back to ease his inner anxiety.
"...When your husband disappoints you, you turn to your son. If your son also disappoints you, your life will probably be a tragedy." As she walked, she suddenly heard Xu Sumin's voice coming from a room somewhere. When she listened carefully, her face suddenly became a little strange.
No wonder Qiao Liu would say something like "birds of a feather flock together", Mrs. Xu's words and actions are indeed somewhat "unique".
After a while, he heard a woman's happy laughter again. He recognized one of the voices as his wife.
He was surprised that such a gentle woman like Madam Xu could get along so well with such a rebellious Madam Xu. He originally thought that the two were just pure business partners, but he did not expect that they would have such a good relationship in private.
When Xu Sumin led Shen Xinyan out of the house, she saw Wei Junhang standing in the yard with his hands behind his back. She was stunned at first, then looked at his strange expression and immediately realized that this man must have heard what she had just said.
She was blessed with a bold and thick skin, but she felt guilty when she was caught by someone else's husband trying to corrupt the man's wife.
However, Master Xu was Master Xu after all, and he had experienced all kinds of storms. He covered up in no time, cleared his throat, and said nonchalantly: "The prince is here to pick up the lady? What a coincidence, I was just about to send the lady to meet you!"
"Thank you for your help, Madam Xu!" She was playing dumb, so Wei Junhang naturally wouldn't expose her. He smiled and bowed to her, saying a few polite words, and then said to Shen Xinyan, who was also a little uncomfortable, "Madam, do you have anything else to do? If not, let's go back home!"
Shen Xinyan pursed her lips and nodded, "Okay!"
The couple said goodbye to Xu Sumin and set off for home.
"Actually, Sister Xu is a nice person. Although she sometimes says some 'peculiar' things, she doesn't mean any harm. Don't take it to heart." In the carriage, Shen Xinyan was a little worried that after hearing Xu Sumin's shocking words, he would have a bad impression of her, which would affect her future relationship with Xu Sumin, so she explained in a low voice.
Wei Junhang stroked his smooth chin and said thoughtfully: "I think what she said makes sense. After hearing what she said today, I realized that I was negligent..."
What if he really dies before his wife in the future... by then, Lin Ge'er will probably already have a wife and children of his own, and he will have to devote part of his original energy to his wife and children, so naturally there will be less left for his wife.
After thinking it over, he still felt that no matter who he entrusted his wife to, he would not be completely at ease, not even Lin Ge'er, his and his wife's biological child.
"What negligence?" Shen Xinyan didn't understand what he said, but she felt a little relieved when she heard him say that Xu Sumin's words made sense.
"No, nothing." Wei Junhang shook his head and stared at her for a moment, which made her feel uncomfortable. She lowered her head and looked at herself carefully. "Why are you looking at me like this? Is there something wrong with me?"
"Madam, I think what Madam Xu said makes a lot of sense. Women should always take themselves to heart." Wei Junhang stared into her eyes and said seriously.
Shen Xinyan was stunned: "W-what?"
"I think it's a good choice for you to start a business with Mrs. Xu. Women can have a broader vision."
"What exactly do you want to say?" Shen Xinyan was confused by him.
Wei Junhang looked at her deeply for a moment, then suddenly smiled and stroked her temples affectionately: "It's okay, just do whatever you want to do in the future! Things in the mansion..."
He looked a little hesitant, but finally said, "If you want to be supported, I will find a chance to mention it to mother. No matter what, you are the future mistress, and it is the most legitimate."
Shen Xinyan stared at him in shock, simply unable to believe what she said.
After all, she has been the daughter-in-law of the Grand Princess for two lifetimes. She must have taught the brothers Wei Junting and Wei Junhang this way since they were young.
In his previous life, Wei Junhang had always followed the teachings of the Grand Princess and would not easily interfere in matters of the inner house. Of course, part of the reason was that she would never mention it to him. No matter what grievances she had suffered from the Grand Princess and Fang, she would cover it up in front of Wei Junhang.
It wasn't because she was afraid that Wei Junhang would worry about her, but she had no intention of telling him from the bottom of her heart. After all, in her previous life, she had never regarded this husband as her support.
